The claim is the first step needed to file a lawsuit against the city for wrongful death and civil rights violations.
On Jan. 26, Huntington Park PD officers responded to a stabbing call. When officers located Lowe near the scene of the initial call, officials said Lowe – who had both of his legs amputated and used a wheelchair – was armed with a long butcher knife.
A video obtained by FOX 11 provided by social media user @hussle_motivate_repeat shows the moments when officers drew guns on the double amputee. His family says he was shot in the back and was distraught over losing both his legs and his condition could not have been a real threat to the officers, who were armed with guns. Anthony Lowe was shot and killed by Huntington Park police last week after allegedly stabbing someone and throwing a knife at officers.
